The 76 public houses at Balazote -a town close to Albacete, Spain- had to respond to the triple goal of developing decent low-cost housing -the main goal of any public housing-, as well as take advantage of a very complicated piece of land and be able to consolidate the growth of the town in a periphery with no attractive nor references.

The final disposition of the houses tried to take advantage of the strong land ramp to facilitate the sunlight, the natural ventilation and views of houses, thus development could provide added value beyond construction. To avoid the perception of a massive building, effort was made to generate different rhythms of facades and varying heights along the ground, optimizing also the construction step.

The project and works management was held in conjunction with the architects Luciano Moreno Feu, Maria Fernandez Torrado and Jose Antonio Perez Gonzalez and the technical architect Pancrazio Gómez Molina. The work was done by the company SIMCABAL SA
